Schools and Districts

SCHOOLS & DISTRICTS

More support for your students.
A partner for your team.

Live, small-group K–12 math and ELA tutoring—planned around your learners, your schedule, and the support your team already provides.

From an individual school to a district-wide program, we work with you to turn an instructional need into a supported plan.

Live instruction. Real connection.

Inside a school partnership

The tutor joins online. The learning happens together.

Start with your students

Where would added support make a difference?

You don't need a finished plan to start a conversation. Bring the problems you see and the realities your team is working within.
See the full program model

  1. Which learners need more instructional time?

    Start with the math or ELA needs your team has identified, from foundational skills to grade-level learning.

  2. One school, or a coordinated district effort?

    A school may lead its own partnership, or a district may coordinate across sites. Local priorities shape the scope.

  3. Where could recurring tutoring fit?

    Consider a school-day support block, extended learning, or a school-arranged at-home program, with reliable time and access.

  4. What should tutoring add to existing support?

    Define the learning need it will address alongside classroom instruction and the work your staff already leads.

A shared plan. Clear responsibilities.

Added support.
Not another program to manage alone.

A strong partnership connects Cignition’s instruction and program support with the people who know your students and schools.

Together

Decisions that keep the program moving

Virtual describes how students connect with the tutor, not independent screen time. Students work with a person in real time, with opportunities to explain, ask questions, and learn together.

MAKE ROOM FOR LEARNING

A good launch is more than a login.

The practical details matter. We work through them with your team before sessions begin.

A time and place students can count on

Identify a consistent schedule and a space where students can hear, speak, and focus. For school-based sessions, a local adult supports transitions, supervision, and day-to-day logistics.

Technology that is ready for instruction

Check student devices, internet access, audio, and headsets before launch. Your team and Cignition can work through access and technical requirements ahead of the first session.

People who know what happens next

Establish school contacts, communication expectations, and a process for missed sessions or changing student needs. A dedicated Cignition program manager helps coordinate the partnership.

Visibility while the program is running

Implementation in practice

Making tutoring part
of the school day.

Ohio statewide partnership · 2024–25

In the second year of Cignition’s Ohio partnership, many districts incorporated tutoring into their master schedules, building on what school teams had learned during the first year.

The case study follows participation and learning across math and ELA programs, including the scheduling challenges that remained.
